Veloce Racing hails hugely successful Extreme E group test
- Motorland Aragón hosts intensive Extreme E test in build-up to inaugural season
- W Series Champion Jamie Chadwick demonstrates driving prowess in Spain
- Veloce Racing set to battle it out against Lewis Hamilton’s X44, Nico Rosberg’s RXR and Andretti United amongst others
Veloce Racing has completed its first official Extreme E test, recording two days of running (18-19 December) with its ODYSSEY 21 across two off-road circuit variants at Motorland Aragón, Spain. Overall, the test was deemed a resounding success with the team gathering vital driver feedback and data ahead of the Saudi Arabian season-opener.
The test was also the first opportunity for drivers to experience the car at its maximum output of 400kW (550bhp), as the power had been limited during the team’s previous shakedowns at Château de Lastours in France.
Veloce Racing was at the sharp end for the duration as its drivers put the all-wheel drive, electric SUV through its paces, regularly topping the timesheets in the process.
The team’s first driver signing, Jamie Chadwick, utilised all of the skills that earned her the titles of W Series Champion and Williams F1 Development Driver, setting strong lap times as she continued her off-road racing apprenticeship.
Meanwhile, Veloce Racing was evaluating two world-class drivers to fill the remaining seat at the team. Both were on the pace from the outset around the 3.1km and 1km courses. The full driver line-up will be announced in early 2021.
Daniel Bailey, CEO, Veloce Racing, commented:
“It was absolutely fantastic to see our dream become a reality at Motorland last week. It really was amazing to see all the cars and teams lined up in a competitive test. Extreme E has done an amazing job to pull this together this year, of all the years, and what a boost to see the Veloce Racing car quick and competitive straight out of the box. We are all so pumped and ready for 2021.”
Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Managing Director of Sporting and Operations, Veloce Racing added:
“Walking into a paddock full of world champions and massive names from all over motorsport was something very special. Extreme E is certainly the hot ticket and we are immensely proud to be amongst it, and the icing on the cake was to be so competitive. There is a long journey ahead and we are aware of the huge amount of talent and success around us. It really does seem like the best sort of blue sky thinking in the midst of such a taxing year, and we at Veloce Racing will be counting down the days to that first race in Saudi.”
The Veloce Racing ODYSSEY 21 will now return to the workshop before departing on the St Helena in mid-February, the floating Extreme E paddock will then head for AlUla, Saudi Arabia (20-21 March) before moving on to Dakar, Senegal (29-30 May), Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (28-29 August), Para, Brazil (23-24 October) and Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina (11-12 December).

game launches
Greentube adds Piggy Prizes Railroad Rumble to its slot franchise
Greentube, NOVOMATIC’s Interactive division, has launched Piggy Prizes
Railroad Rumble
, the latest entry in its Piggy Prizes
slot series.
Piggy Prizes
Railroad Rumble
runs on a 5×3 grid and centres on coin and piggy pot symbols that can be collected and enhanced when the cowboy lands on the centre reel. Greentube said the cowboy acts as a wild and can trigger coin drops that feed piggy pots, which can award Free Games.
The release adds a Gold Train feature that can add and boost coin values and contribute to filling the piggy pots. Greentube said reaching the pots’ limit can trigger Super Free Games, while Free Games keep the cowboy locked on the centre reel and Super Free Games keep the Gold Train sticky on the centre reel.
The game also includes Magic Spin and Magic Rewind modifiers. Greentube said Magic Spins can randomly lock the cowboy or Gold Train on the centre reel, while Magic Rewind gives players another chance to land symbols or jackpots. A Bonus Buy option is available in the base game, which triggers the bonus round once activated.
Richard Ganster, Director of Games Strategy and Games Portfolio Management at Greentube, said: “Piggy Prizes
has become one of our standout series because of its ability to evolve while staying true to the core mechanics players enjoy. With Piggy Prizes
Railroad Rumble
, we’ve introduced a more dynamic setup and layered feature set that enhances both engagement and replayability.
“The combination of familiar mechanics with new modifiers allows us to keep the experience fresh for existing fans while also attracting new players to the franchise.”
